Switching Operations Fatality Analysis
PREFACE 

This Appendix is the second volume of the report, Findings and Recommendations of the SOFA 

Working Group (October 1999). It is published for those interested in examining the many tables 

and figures (charts and graphs) of the variables in the SOFA Matrix used by the SOFA Working 

Group in developing operational recommendations to prevent employee fatalities (FEs) among 

on-duty, railroad employees engaged in switching operations. 

The SOFA Working Group first coded the extensive data contained in the SOFA Matrix by 

considering and discussing each of 76 FEs engaged in switching operations from January 1, 1992 

to July 1, 1998. After the coding, the Working Group determined which of the variables, that 

they were able to fully code, were common among groups of FEs. 

Section I of this Appendix lists the 206 variables of the SOFA Matrix, the information that the 

SOFA Working Group had available or wish to have. Section I also contains the full SOFA 

Matrix. Examination of this Matrix will show that some of the variables could not be fully coded, 

or coded at all. For one reason or another, the data simply was not originally collected; and it was 

not possible for the Working Group to reconstruct it. Because of the occurrence of this missing 

data, the SOFA Working Group, in addition to making operational recommendations, made the 

recommendation to collect additional information during a FE investigation. 

Many of the exhibits contained in Section II actually formed the basis for ruling out that a 

particular variable, or factor, alone or in combination with other factors, was involved in any 

event chain leading up to FEs. (Please note that some of the exhibits were created when only 68 

of the 76 FEs for the SOFA Matrix had been coded.) Many of the factors that were important in 

event chains are shown in figures and tables in the report itself. 

Section III contains a partially coded SOFA Matrix for the years 1975 to 1991, the period for 

which only patial information on switching operation FEs is available. Only ten of the 206 

variables have been coded for that period. Of particular interest to the SOFA Working Group 

was the number of FEs that occurred in the pre-study period.
